Static Tide

[Intro]
[Verse]
Salt on the motherboard
Wires in a tangled cord
Waves crash against the door
I can't feel the floor
Rust on the scanner screen
The blue light is a dream
Searching for what I've seen
In the digital slipstream
[Pre-Chorus]
A flicker in the dark
A tiny glowing spark
I follow the trace
Of your missing face
[Chorus]
Holographic smiles in the air
Do you know I'm still here?
Glitch in the system's core
I'm wanting so much more
Static on the coastal line
Running out of borrowed time
Your voice is a broken rhyme
Frozen in the salt and lime
[Hook]
Data in the deep
Promises we couldn't keep
Data in the deep
Secrets that the oceans reap
[Verse]
Copper turns to green
The saddest sight I've seen
Seaweed hides the drive
Are you still alive?
Code begins to fray
In the light of day
Memories wash away
In the cold gray spray
[Chorus]
Holographic smiles in the air
Do you know I'm still here?
Glitch in the system's core
I'm wanting so much more
Static on the coastal line
Running out of borrowed time
Your voice is a broken rhyme
Frozen in the salt and lime
[Bridge]
Zero and one, one and zero
Where did my hero go?
The signal is fading fast
Nothing was built to last
I reach for the light
Into the pixelated night
The frame starts to tear
I'm gasping for air
[Breakdown]
Wait for the tide
Nowhere to hide
System failure
Saltwater savior
Wait for the tide
Nowhere to hide
[Chorus]
Holographic smiles in the air
Do you know I'm still here?
Glitch in the system's core
I'm wanting so much more
Static on the coastal line
Running out of borrowed time
Your voice is a broken rhyme
Frozen in the salt and lime
[Post-Chorus]
Flicker out, flicker in
Where do I begin?
Flicker out, flicker in
Underneath my skin
[Outro]
